Remote and Noise Level
As I recall you need to pop the battery out of the remote and remove a bit of tape so that it then makes contact. But I got my mini (well, 2nd mini) about 2.5 months ago, so trying to go of memory. But I now use the remote ALL TIME for music.

They are very quiet, however its because Apple has the fan set to run really slow. I run SMC Fan Control on my mini so that I can control the fan speed manually. If I a doing some heavy work, I will run it up to 5k rpm which cools it WAY better. The stock sped for idle is 1500rpm, and it will slowly climb up to 2000 and eventually 2500 when it gets really warm. And while the T7200 in mine has a pretty high thermal limit, I don't like it running at 60-70C all the time under heavy work. It will idle at around 49-50C with the fan set to 2000rpm, which is still audibly very low.
